Mystics vs Sun Prediction
We know the Mystics have issues as big favorites, and this line is insane. However, most of the time we give the Sun a look in these spots, they fall on their face. The Sun are 19-23 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. The Suns are also 3-18 SU on the road. We’ve been on the Mystics a lot this season, and I keep telling anyone who will listen that they’re good. The Mystics are also fighting for playoff seeding. Don’t love the number, but I have to lay the points.
